Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 767
When Jim looked at her, Rebecca almost spilled her food out because she wasn’t expecting that. At least, she wasn’t expecting him to be so open about it.“Ms. Rebecca Sterling…” Jim said, “Will you go out on a date with me?”Rebecca stopped chewing.Rye could hear Benjamin’s heart picking up speed. She sent him a mental message to control himself.Rebecca swallowed the food and then said, “Jim… I’ll be frank. My family situation and my situation isn’t really good right now. So, I don’t think it’s the correct time for me to spend on dating.”Jim was disappointed to hear that, but Benjamin felt relieved.“Troubles are ever present in our lives,” Jim responded. “If not one trouble, another trouble will always be there. Didn’t that lady just say that we should get married at the right time and not waste our youth? I think the same way. My dad has always tried to get me married since I turned 20, but I wasn’t interested in it. Now, I changed my mind after seeing you because with you, ther

“I’m not gay…” Jim eventually managed to break the silence.“I never said you were,” Benjamin replied. “I’m just stating the possibility and am telling Rebecca to be careful because she’s a good friend of mine.”Rebecca was pleasantly surprised by those words. She didn’t remember anyone other than Jane calling her a friend in recent times.“I appreciate your concern for her, but I’m not a gay,” Jim maintained eye contact with Benjamin. “If I was a gay, I would have approached you secretly by now since you’re handsome. But I didn’t. Because I’m not gay. I don’t know how else to prove this.”“You don’t have to prove anything. You just said indirectly that you’re gay,” Benjamin said.“Huh? I didn’t say that,” Jim quickly retorted. “What are you talking about?”“No, you did.”“I didn’t.”Meanwhile, Rye pressed her foot on Benjamin’s foot, telling him to stop.“How can I prove to you that I’m not gay?” Jim asked him.“You don’t have to prove anything. I know what you are,” Benjamin retorte

The next morning.Rebecca came out of the building with her CV file in her hand. But to her surprise, her blue Porsche had become red now.“W-What the…” she touched it and understood that it was freshly painted. She looked around to see if anyone was around, and then eventually saw Benjamin on the balcony. “Did you do this?”“Yeah. Last night,” Benjamin said. “You said you liked the red color, so…”Rebecca didn’t know what to say. The red colored car looked much better in her eyes, but still, she wished he could have just asked her first before painting it. Then again, it looked like it was painted by a professional. So, she had nothing else to complain about. Nevertheless, she didn’t thank Benjamin and just entered the car and left.Rye approached Benjamin from behind. “It turned out to be a wasted effort. Did you really think that painting the car will bring her memories back? That’s not how it works.”“If you are so certain that her memories won’t return, then why are you telling

Later that afternoon.Rebecca returned home at around two o’clock, and she didn’t look happy because she was rejected by every company once more.Rebecca didn’t even have enough money to fill her car with petrol once again, and she didn’t want to ask others for money, either, especially her mother.However, Rebecca had no idea that Selena herself was going through very frustrating times because she had given money to some financiers and some friends so she could later get interests, but now, all those people were refusing to pay her back, giving her various kinds of excuses.At first she didn’t realize that something was amiss, but after one of those people warned her to be careful about the Sehla family, Selena pieced everything together. She even figured out that the Myers family was actually working for the Sehla family.And this truth made her almost slap herself because she realized how foolishly she trusted Victoria.When Selena came out of her room and was coming downstairs, sh

After almost a minute later, Rebecca blinked and quickly tried to stand.Benjamin also removed his hand from her vicinity.“T-Thank you…” Rebecca was about to take a step up onto the stairs, but then she slightly hissed in pain, as her ankle hurt.Benjamin immediately brought his arm behind her again. “I think you sprained your ankle. Come and sit on the couch. I’ll cure your pain.”“You know how to do it?” she asked.“Yeah,” Benjamin offered his hand.She hesitantly grabbed his hand, though only delicately, and he brought her to the couch and held her hand until she sat down.Benjamin carefully removed the sandals and then gently massaged her ankle and foot. Rebecca never uttered a hiss because he did it so perfectly.Generally, feet were very sensitive parts for humans, and Rebecca usually felt ticklish near her feet, but Benjamin applied just enough pressure to make her feel highly comfortable. She did not feel ticklish or painful.As he ran his fingers down her veins and then twis

The next morning.Rebecca came to the balcony for fresh air, and she saw Benjamin skating on the stone pavement and circled around the villa. “He has those inline skates, too? He’s very good at it as well. I don’t want to learn how to skate right now, but I have to do something to become fit again. I haven’t exercised on the spin bike in a while. I should continue it from tomorrow.”Kathy brought coffee to Rebecca.“I didn’t ask you, so why did you bring it?” Rebecca asked her.“Madam Selena told me to give you a cup because this coffee was made by Mr. Benjamin,” Kathy said and left. “Excuse me.”“Did he make the coffee?” Rebecca could see that it wasn’t filter coffee, but one made with milk. She picked up the cup and smell the fragrance. “Mm… It smells sweet. I can already feel that it’s going to taste good.” She took a sip, and she wasn’t wrong. It was pretty good. “Did he add something more than coffee and sugar?” she wondered. “It tastes different from regular coffee, but it’s goo

Kathy came to Rebecca again.Rebecca kept coldly looking at her. “What now?”“C-Cup,” Kathy picked up the coffee cup and saucer. As she walked away, she looked at Benjamin. “He was quarreling with his lover last night. Something must be going wrong between them. I guess even their relationship might not last long.”Kathy purposely said these words, even though Benjamin and Rye never quarreled. But how would Rebecca know about that?“They were fighting?” Rebecca wondered. “They looked very understanding toward each other, though. But then again, quarreling is common in any relationship. Mm?” Just then, Benjamin waved his hand at her and asked, “Do you want to skate?”Rebecca slowly shook her head.Benjamin then kept circling around the villa onceagain, with Roshan trying to chase him. However, Roshan was only a beginner, so he was not able to keep up with Benjamin who was doing many skating tricks to keep Roshan entertained and also make him feel jealous.Rebecca hadn’t seen Roshan la

“My smile will shine in you,my voice will sing in you,and my love will live in youIf only you would give me a chance to be with you…”Roshan laughed with mixed emotions after reading what Benjamin wrote. “This sounds cringey. Do you think this will help me attract her attention?”“It depends on her taste and mood,” Benjamin replied. “Give it to her when she’s in a good mood. Also, make sure you write it in your own handwriting.”“Write what?” Rebecca entered the backyard and plucked the paper out of Roshan’s hands.“A-Aunt, I don’t know anything about it!” Roshan said and quickly ran away.Rebecca read the words written on the page and then looked at Benjamin. “What are you thinking, giving this to a fourteen year old?”“In a few days, he’ll be fifteen.”Rebecca’s jaw hardened. “That’s not the point. He’s too young to be dating.”“I don’t think it’s wrong to express his love for a girl in words,” Benjamin said. “Even if he’s seven, he can write a love letter to another seven year o

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam

Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking.

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
